LINING AND METHOD.

Application filed December 15, 1923.

T 0 all whomv it may concern- Be it known that I, SAMUEL B. VVAXEIAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing in the city of Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Linings and Methods, of which the following is a specifica tion.

The invention relates to a method of lin-' ing the waist band of trousers and similar garments, and to such a lining which has the appearance of hand work but is produced by machine.

In accordance with the invention 1 first hemstitch the lining material along the edge, the hemstitching being spaced. a'suitable distance from the edge. The edge of the binding or lining material thus hemstitched is then laid against the cloth, of which the garment is composed, and the lining material is sewed to the cloth by a line of stitching which follows closely along the hemstitching, the line of stitching being preferably in the center of the hemstitching. The lining is then turned over on the line of the hemstitching and pressed. The hemstitching referred to and the stitch ing by which the lining or binding is secured to the garment, and all the other nec essary sewing in this connection are easily and conveniently and quickly accomplished by machine, and the top edge of the binding as thus finished and sewed to the garment, has, due to the presence of the hemstitching, the appearance of elaborate careful handwork, being at the same time pro duced at an incomparably less expense of time and money than that at which it could be produced by hand.

In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated a waist binding made in accordance with my method and embodying the features of the article of my invention in the preferred form.

In the drawing- Figure 1 is a fragmentary inside view of a portion of a trousers garment taken at the waist line and showing the waist band, the overlying pieces of material being cut away in such. a manner as to expose the underlying pieces of material and to show their arrangement.

Figure 2 is a somewhat similar view on an enlarged scale showing a smaller fragment of a garment, the material being sectioned at the righthand side of the View to illus- Scrial No. 639,996.

sewed to the top edge of the cloth composin the garment and before it is turned over to the inside, that is, the binding is'lying on the outside of the garment.

Figure tshows a similar fragment at a slightly later period in the production of the garment, the lining material and the cloth being spread apart in the course of turning the binding over from the outside toward. the inside of the garment.

Figure 5 is a perspective view:of a pair of trousers top lined'in' accordance withthe invention. p0

Figure 6 is a plan view of a binding band in accordance with the invention, hemstitched and ready to be sewed to the garment along the line of the hemstitching as aforesaid.

In order that the method and article of the invention may be clearly understood, one of the various waist band constructions which may be made in accordance with the invention will be described.

In the drawings the cloth of which the garment is made is the darkly shaded portion 1. In producing the construction shown, I have first sewed a piece of tape 2 to the edge of a strip of canvas 3 by a seam 4-, and have then sewed a piece of twilled fabric 5 forming the lining material, to the opposite edge of the canvas by a seam 6, the binding or lining material being sewed near its edge to one side of the canvas near one edge by said seam 6, and the tape being sewed along its edge to the other side; of the canvas along the opposite edge thereof by the seam 4. The lining material which is wider than the canvas is then turned under the edge of the canvas near which it is sewed by the seam 6 and folded back until its 0pposite edge is under the tape 2.

The tape and the lining material are then hemstitched together by passing the binding through a hemstitehing machine, the hemstitching being indicated by reference character 7. The lining is then laid on the outside of the garment along the top edge with the hemstitching on the line which is intended to form the exact top edge of the garment and sewed thereto through the hemstitching. The lining and the top edge of the cloth with it are then turned over inside the garment where it may be again sewed by stitching 8 and pressed or pressed without sewing in such a manner that the hemstitehing as aforesaid comes just inside the top edge of the garment.

While I have described in detail a preferred form of lining, I would have it understood that the stiffenin i. e., the canvas and the tape and other details are more or less incidental and immaterial, the important feature of the invention being, as aforesaid, the manner of lining or top lining the garment by hemstitching the waistband lining in the direct-ion of the length of the edge line 01' waist line and sewing the lining to the garment along the line of the hemstitching and near the edge of the cloth so that when the lining is turned against the inside of the garment material or cloth, the hemstitching comes at the edge of the lining.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The method of lining the waist band of a trousers garment which consists in hemstitching apiece of lining material, sewing the lining to the cloth along the edge of the cloth and along the line of the hemstitehing, and folding the material over on the line of the hcmstitching so that the hemstitching forms the edge of the lining.

2. In a garment a lining which comprises a piece of lining material hemstitehed and sewed to the garment, through and on the line of the hemstitching and turned over against the inside of the garment on said line.

3. In a garment a waist band lining consisting of lining material hemstitched along an edge and sewed to the cloth forming the garment near the top edge thereof and through and on the line of said hemstitching, the edges of the lining and the edge of the cloth forming the garment being turned in between the cloth and the lining.
